kong off

This weekend at the 1up Arcade in Denver, Colorado is the Kong Off 3, the World Championship Donkey Kong Tournament. Current world record holder Dr. Hank Chien will be there defending his title against Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell (both featured in the King of Kong film) along with several other world class contenders. This is an official tournament, sanctioned by Twin Galaxies and monitored by referee Walter Day.

If you find yourself in Denver at the 1Up this weekend, look for the big guy wearing a hat that says “FLACK” on it. :)
